21:47:05, 14 June 2014 request for review by Pat Kelso
Gentlemen, the below is self-explanatory. I hope you might help.


 * Dear Mr. Vanitas: I would like to submit (resubmit?) my editing of Perspective projection under Perspective (Graphics), https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pat_Kelso/sandbox&action=submit, for review. It seems to be blocked by a "black list"(??) If you might give me a pointer, it would be appreciated.

 * Hello Pat Kelso, I'm not really a technical guy, so suggest you enquire at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk instead, to reach a wider/savvier audience of reviewers. MatthewVanitas (talk) 23:25, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi, I've moved your sandbox draft to Draft:Perspective (Graphics) as you seemed to be requesting and I have placed a draft template on it, as it appears you have not finished it yet. I notice you have another submission at Draft:Perspective projection, what would you like to do with that submission? Bellerophon talk to me  21:59, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Dear Mr. Bellerophon I am still feeling my way along here. It is my understanding that my first draft, of Perspective projection, a subsection of Perspective (Graphics), was declined because of a "black list." I do not what that is though it sounds ominous. What I would prefer is to zap that submission. As I am still updating my editing of the piece, I would prefer not to submit it until I feel it is in better shape. There are errors in the published article as it now stands and I plane to keep the errors and show the corrections. By the way, is it more convenient for you to correspond through this site or my talk site? Your indulgence if appreciated. Pat Kelso (talk) 03:38, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi again, your first submission was declined because it seemed to duplicate an existing topic Perspective projection which, interestingly, is merely a redirect to Perspective (graphical). To be clear, the reason your submissions have been declined is because you appear to be trying to write articles about subjects that already exist on Wikipedia. Any message you got about a blacklist was simply because you put a link in your submission to website on Wikipedia's blacklist. You won't be able to save a page if it includes a blacklisted URL, I had to remove one such URL from your sandbox in order to move the page to the title your requested.

The reliable sources list does not cover China/SE Asia and hardly any arcade sources (arcade gets a small % of coverage that consoles get). What could I possible source to make my article notable? I already have one Chinese media.

Hi, this article is about as notable as all the other arcade dance games sans dance dance revolution. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_It_Up


 * other pages do not set a precedent for this one. If poor p[ages were allowed to set a precedent WIkipedia would mimic Idiocracy. Fiddle   Faddle  21:52, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

I have edited and re-submitted my article a while ago. Is there any chance to know if it has been accepted? Thank you. Sergei

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ahmed Sabbour OR Draft:Ahmed Sabbour

Please I need to know the reasons behind the decline of my article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FAcebook88 (talk • contribs) 08:33, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You are confused. You are dealing with two different copies of essentially the same article plus a third article like the other two so I'll address each separately.
 * Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hussein Sabbour This submission lacks reliable sources and makes no clear claim of notability.
 * Draft:Hussein Sabbour is about the same person but has slight differences. It too lacks reliable sources and claims of notability. This hasn't been submitted for review and it would be declined if it were.
 * Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ahmed Sabbour This reads much the same as the other two although about a different person. It hasn't been submitted for review, it lacks reliable sources, and the subject has no claim to notability. This submission also reads very promotionally.
 * None of these submissions can be accepted. Please read all of our content guidelines before you attempt to continue editing. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:49, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Questions re: comments on newly published article

An article I wrote on musician Eliot Lewis was just published. However, there's a notation on it that "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view." I was asked by Mr. Lewis' manager to write the article, but I don't know Mr. Lewis. Are there specific passages in the article that caused this concern? What do I need to address to get this notation resolved and removed?

Thank you!

 * The issue is conflict of interest per se. Fiddle   Faddle  17:00, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * User:Righttrack, can you explain how the above statement is consistent with a previous edit by your account saying "I am the Tour Manager for Eliot Lewis and was posting this page under his direction." ? AllyD (talk) 17:38, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Oh ... I didn't realize Mr. Nichols identified himself as Mr. Lewis' tour manager. Phil Nichols created the righttrack account and was going to write the page, then contacted me to do it instead. Since he had entered the basic bio information and discography, I wrote teh rest of the page in the righttrack account. But my name is Kellye Norris. I'm a freelance journalist with about 20 years of experience in print and online communications. Check me out on LinkedIn. (I'm the one in Dallas.) BTW, I have my own Wiki account now--username KellyeN1220. Any future pages will be written in my account under my Wiki user name.

I should add ... I wasn't paid to write Mr. Lewis' page, and I did all my own research. I worked for free because most of my paying clients are technology companies, and I wanted the opportunity to write about something besides application virtualization in a private cloud.
